Khadija Al-Salami

Host Guy A. Lepage brings together six to eight personalities from different milieus—sports, politics, stage productions and more—that are the subject of everyone’s conversations and/or are important figures in recent events. Participants are invited to speak freely, voicing their opinions on headline news or on a subject that is near and dear to them. 

Ten-year-old Nojoom was forced to marry a 30-year-old man. The dowry offered the family a small income and 'one less mouth to feed'. Nojoom discovers that her life will take a turn for the worse. Her husband is indifferent to her age. Every day after she is wedded, the child works under harsh conditions and every night, the child-bride is raped by a man 20 years older than her. A legitimate and acceptable arrangement for all, except for Nojoom.

A portrait of a young girl married at eleven and accused of murdering her husband at fourteen.

When Boushra writes an article expressing her pain and great disappointment in a broken and confiscated dream of freedom and democracy, it never occurs to her that her writing will become a serious threat to herself and her family.

A documentary short that follows a 13-year-old girl named Nejmia, who lives in Sana’a and refuses to wear the veil.
